1 or 2 General(s)
6 pedites extraordinarii
4 Triarii
2 Principes
2 Velites
2 Equites romani
2 Mercenary archers or slingers, type depending on where I'm fighting

That's my classical built for any full alll-purpose stack, followed by small reinforcement to resplenish it.
Apart from that I have half-stacks of gallic mercenaries to guard frontiers witn spain and sweboz (on a bridge hehe):
5 Neitos
4 Archers
1 Brihentin cavalry

A full stack of hellennic mercenaries doing wonderous things on top of a moutain:
1 General
4 High number mercenary greek phalanx (don't remember the name)
2 Mercenary hoplites
2 Classical hoplites
4 Pelsastai
6 Cretan Archers

What do you think of these builts? And that leads to another question: as for the romani, what are yours? and against wich opponent would you use each?


Those stacks are insanely expensive. You can't be making a lot of money there.

A Roman stack, representing a full Consular Army should look something like:

4 Hastati
4 Princepes
2 Triarii
4 Velites
1 Pedites Extraordinarii
1 Equites Extraordinarii
1 Equites
1 General
2 Specialist/local units.

The army should leave Italy looking like that. Obviously composition changes after a few battles, for starters that army is very slightly cav-heavy, as the Roman ration is something like 1:8 (I haven't actually done the sums).
